Mobile credentials
Kisi organization administrators can configure various modes of operation for mobile credentials.
Tap-to-Unlock
Tap to Unlock allows you to unlock doors by tapping your mobile device against the Kisi Reader, without having to actively use the app. The communication is based on BLE and NFC technologies, transmitting the information to the controller and to the cloud. Communication with the controller can also be through a local network.
If the local network is offline, the phone will request offline credentials from the cloud. In this case, the reader will talk to the controller without any intermediaries.

Tap-to-Unlock with secondary authentication
With Two-factor Authentication (2FA) enabled, you need to unlock your mobile device before tapping it against the Kisi Reader. This adds an extra layer of security. The feature is optional and fully customizable from the Kisi dashboard.

Tap in-app
Tap in-app allows you to unlock doors from within the Kisi app. The tap sends the unlock request directly to the cloud, then to the controller, which fires the relay opening the door. Note that in this case the reader is not necessary.

MotionSense
MotionSense allows you to unlock a door with just a wave of the hand. For MotionSense to work, users need to have the Kisi iOS app installed, Bluetooth enabled, and have their phone nearby.
